Community of Practice

Communities of practice (CoP), as discussed by Etienne Wenger (1998), provide an environment that facilitates both openness, and participation and have been adopted in our theoretical model. They offer their members a social environment where people can exchange and construct knowledge, have a common language (jargon), share specific tools and knowledge resources and adopt a common way of doing things. Members of a CoP work together, develop ideas, achieve common tasks, discuss the past and the future and thus develop and sustain mutual relationships (Preece, 2000 and Wenger, 1998). A CoP can also be nurtured in the virtual world where the emphasis lies on social interaction mediated by current ICTs, usually reffered to as Virtual Community of Practice.
